Chatelaine 85th

Don't stop at just one, instead go for bold and pile on the print.

To mark Chatelaine’s 85th anniversary, we combed through the archives and took a few vintage recipes into the Chatelaine Kitchen for testing. Find out if this open-faced sandwich stands the test of time!

Combing through the Chatelaine recipe archives is endlessly fascinating (so many sausages and weiners in the late seventies!) as what we were eating through the decades really does say a lot about who we were at the time. And while some of the recipes we found wouldn’t be out of place on dinner tables today, let’s just say not all of these vintage recipes would appeal to modern tastes. Here are some of the more interesting and inventive concoctions we dug up. Enjoy!

It was 1967 and the whole world was headed to Montreal for the Expo to get a peek at what life might look like in the future. Chatelaine built this minimalist house as our pavilion for the momentous event — and everything in it (including a car!) were offered as a contest giveaway.
